Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 222

"Yes, I'm so down for it." Sabrina jumped off the hammock and said with joy, "Jenna, since you're in charge, let's prepare something special that will impress everyone. How about a special New Year banquet?"

Jenna chuckled. She thought for a while and said, "That's interesting, I'll think about it."

"What is there to think about? Alright, that's final." Sabrina was full of excitement.

"Sabrina, it's a good thing to hold an annual banquet but we should also get Grandma's consent and look through the expenses in the past few years. We can't just hop into it without proper planning," Jenna smiled and reminded her.

Richards Manor had no shortage of money but this did not imply that people here would be up for it. Often, these occasions were events where people bragged about their riches and successes to one another, all just so they could feign their pride.

If the distribution was unfair or favoring one over the other, no matter which part went wrong, it would offend the status of each person in Richards Manor. They would easily associate this event with the inheritance rights in the manor, therefore they would keep an eye on the distribution of these benefits.

This was a headache but seeing Sabrina full of anticipation, Jenna also got excited.

"Jenna, you worry too much. Trust me, Grandma will definitely agree. Now, every big family in A city is planning events like this. Last year, Frederic Newton's family spent 10 million on the New Year Day's celebration. The event was all over the news, even I knew about it despite being in Capital City. Plus, this will be an auspicious event for everyone." Sabrina was very confident. From her perspective, the current Richards Manor was utterly gloomy. They needed to hold such an extraordinary New Year banquet to lighten up the mood.

Jenna listened and glanced at her sideways. "Since you're so interested in this, you have to help me throughout the event!"

"Of course." Sabrina rubbed her face that was a little red from the cold bite of wind and said seriously, "I shall do as you command, Young Madam."

After speaking, she got down on one knee, making Jenna laugh.

"What's the occasion?" Strong footsteps approached as two tall men walked in.

Jenna looked up.

Hansen and Christopher strode in one after another, looking absolutely dashing.

One of them was wearing a suit and leather shoes, while the other wore the most trendy royal blue fleece coat. They had their hair combed to the back neatly, revealing smooth foreheads. They were especially handsome.

Why was Christopher here?

Jenna was surprised. She looked up at him, failing to hide the puzzle in her eyes.

"Hello, Jenna." Christopher approached Jenna without hesitation and stretched out his hand.

His eyes were as calm as a quiet lake. His thin lips curled upwards, looking polite and sophisticated.

"Hello, Mr. Matthews." Jenna only paused for a split second before she shook his hand.

His hands were very warm against Jenna's cold ones. His eyebrows were raised slightly and he gave her hand a firm shake. He looked around the room before his eyes landed on the open window, speaking in a caring and thoughtful manner.

"It's so cold today. Why is the window open? No wonder your hands are so cold."

Jenna panicked a little inside. She retracted her hand and smiled faintly. "We like some fresh air."

She answered so elegantly with a slight smile plastered on her face. There was nothing inappropriate but she felt a displeased gaze shot at her.

She did not even need to guess who it was from.

She spared no looks at Hansen and smiled at Christopher. "Christopher, what brings you here all the way from Capital City?"

Christopher grinned. "I'm here to see Vivian and you."

Jenna smiled lightly. She was used to small talk.

On the sofa, Sabrina was flipping through a magazine in her hand. She raised her head and smiled at Christopher. "Mr. Matthews, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Christopher laughed. "Miss Delia, you should have told me that you're coming to A city. Wouldn't it be more lively if we came together?"

"Oh, please no, you're a public official who handles important matters. I wouldn't dare to get in the way," Sabrina waved her hand and said loudly. The two looked like close friends.

They were both from Capital City and from prestigious families. Jenna could figure why they were close with each other.

She returned to the desk to deal with the ledgers.

Hansen had a dark expression on his face.

Jenna casted him no glances since the start, it was as if he did not exist.

His face was gloomy and he felt embarrassed.

"Seems like you're quite interested in being the head of the household." After a while, he walked over to Jenna and spoke to her.

Jenna did not respond.

"You have to be careful when you're in charge. Handling Richards Manor is not that easy," he coughed awkwardly and continued.

"You think I want to do this? Nobody cares about taking over Richards Manor," Jenna closed the book and replied coldly.

A cold wind hit his face when she shut the book. It felt like a slap on his face and he seemed pathetic, adding to his awkwardness.

She really showed him no mercy. On top of that, she was rude.

He glanced at Christopher and Sabrina from the córner of his eye. They were chatting away, paying no attention over here. Only then did he feel less embarrassed.

"Jenna, are you really going to do this to me?" He lowered his voice and gritted his teeth.
